In Which the Divagation Store reaches the 900 posts Milestone! Reflection on Why...

Good morning, my friend, dear reader of this present post! How are you today, this new week? It should be the last one for February, quite soothing that it will end on a Sunday as well, given it started on a Sunday, too! As for me, I did sleep quite a bit yesterday, but I cannot complain of not being a productive day, given I finished reading the biography of Madame de Pompadour, written by Nancy Mitford.

Sketch of the week! In which we have a nice Palace!

Good morning everyone! Happy Wednesday to you, wish you the best! Season's Greetings! How are you today and how are things going? For me, it's a lazy day, I decided not to go to pilates today haha because I don't feel like it, like I can do that, apart from that I'm okay, had a bit of a crisis yesterday, but today I'm trying to keep on going on this vacation season, I've been big on Twitch these days, just doing what I can to customize everything there haha, and well anyway, here I am trying to write on my blog today, it is being difficult for some reason I can't say for sure, just feel like this is a slacking day maybe, well, but I do have a thing to share with you guys today! A drawing! Let's jump to it, shall we?


Here we have a picture of one of my last drawings! I'm not sure what is it yet, if it is a palace, a temple, just a civic building, have no idea, BUT well, I called it a palace on the title, so we'll go with it! This is the palace of the flowers, so it goes, it took me forever to finish this drawing, literally a month! I've been dealing with artistic block for a long time now, but Thank Goodness I'm being able to draw more this month, and I don't take it for granted, this could go away at any moment, but I also don't want to overthink it and ruin the moment, just live in the moment is what it appears to be the motto, so it goes! I ran out of things to say today and have been writing the same post for over two hours now haha, time flies, so this is it for today, thank you ever so much for being here, dear reader, you are pretty awesome, and I wish you the best and I see you next time!
